Answer:

Explanation:

Solstice is gotten from the Latin word 'solstitium'. 'sol' means the sun and 'sistere' means 'to cause to stand or stand still'. From an astronomical point of view, this translation makes sense because this term is used to describe that particular instance when the sun attains its maximum northern point or maximum southern point from the equator of the earth.

When the sun attains northernmost point from the equator, summer solstice occurs and consequently causing the Earth to experience the longest day of the year. Similarly, when the sun attains its southernmost point from the equator, the Earth's proximity to the sun is at its closest and thereby making the Earth to experience the shortest day of the year. Astronomically, this is known as the winter solstice

The circuit has a 3 volt EMF and two ohm resistors. How much power in watts does this circuit draw? A) 4.5 , B) 24, C) 1.13 D) 2
dlinn [17]

Answer:

P = 4.5 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

EMF of the circuit, E = 3 volt

The resistance  of the resistors, R = 2 ohms

We need to find the power of this circuit. The relation between power, emf and resistance is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

Substitute all the values,

P=\dfrac{3^2}{2}\\\\P=4.5\ W

So, the power of this circuit is equal to 4.5 watts.

Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does​
Strike441 [17]

Answer: Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does? The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.
